Razorock Switch and Lupo are live

Damnit. I've been working hard to tone down my collection. Being realistic about what soaps I'll use, removing the razors I just don't reach for... BUT... The draw is too strong.
Had to pull the trigger and order a Lupo. I like mild razors and from all the initial reviews, this seems both mild and efficient. Also, it's almost like trying a Wolfman... And this is as close as my wallet will ever allow, lol.
Since I sunk the $7 in shipping, decided to make it worth it and grab a soap too. See a lot of rave reviews on both the p160 and mudder focker. Decided to buy the p160 this time. Fingers crossed.

Count me in as a person who loves machines aluminum razors. The light weight allows me to determine pressure vs a boat anchor falling into my face.
Plus, the rr aluminum razors are machined incredibly precisely.

First shave with Lupo:
Very interesting. Great shave today.
Obviously, it's very light. It almost feels like I'm wielding a disposable, especially because the size is pretty petite as well. This is neither a plus or minus. It's nimble and quick.
I don't really like to get into the aggressive/efficient/mild/inefficient game of semantics, but here goes:
The blade gap feels medium/large, but the blade exposure feels nearly exactly neutral. So, it didn't feel like "nothing was happening". It felt like I was shaving hard, but there was no chance of being bitten. 1.5 passes yielded a DFS.
I actually prefer (big gap/less exposure = Lupo) to (tiny gap/huge exposure = baby soft)
The handle looks meh, but it works perfectly with this razor.
Overall, this is a KILLER razor for $30. It may not suit everyone's shaving style though. I had to apply pressure to get a great shave. BUT....it still gave me a GREAT shave with zero irritation.

BTW, I haven't shaved with my Switch yet, but, the blade gap and safety bar look identical to the Lupo. It may be redundant, IMO.
Great reports! Now I’m doubly hoping for an SS version...
I'm sure that's coming. The Aluminum version is a probably a good "market test".
Just got my shipping notice so hopefully I'll get Saturday
Just got mine to!
That makes three!
I think they are catching up on orders. Mine was placed Friday or Saturday evening. Doubt they work Sunday, so this was quick.
Yeah based on when I put the order in which was night before last I was expecting it to take at least a few days before it would get shipped. So your right they must be caught up with the orders and that was quick. Works for me!
Has everyone read the description of the Lupo on the Italian barber website? There it states the razor is a copy of the famous wolf man razor with 2 noted improvements. A 30 buck razor making improvements on a razor that costs hundreds??? It struck me as funny!
BUT if anyone can pull that off it's Razorock. They are wizards to my way of thinking in the way they create truly great products for the least $$. Their all stainless razors compete with the best of the best for hundreds less.
I just thinned my razor collection but I want a Lupo at some point.

Make it four, just got my shipping notice as well. Looking forward to trying this razor out.
I got mine too, it’s so light! I’ll give it a shave tomorrow night or Wednesday morn.
Mark aka @Shavemd can answer that as he has both razors. I'm sure he will chime in.
I'd love to get a gauge measure of the blade gap. From what I am seeing so far, it seems to be in the low .6 range with about neutral exposure. If so, I'd imagine it would be a bit less agressive than the .68 gamechanger, which I think has been described as a hair north of neutral in exposure?
Whatever it turns out to be, I'm super excited to see it in person. [emoji16]
When I get them I will definitely compare them to GC68. This is one of the reasons I got them
